CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior guard Jimmy Bartolotta has been named to the D3Hoops Preseason All-America Second Team in addition to earning Honorable Mention All-American accolades by The Sporting News. Bartolotta&rsquo;s recognition marks the first national preseason honor in the program&rsquo;s history.

Last year, Bartolotta set a school record by averaging 23.9 points per game in 24 games played. He was the only player in the New England Women&rsquo;s and Men&rsquo;s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) to rank among the league leaders in every statistical category, including second overall in assists (4.0) and steals (2.3).

Bartolotta closed the 2007-08 campaign with a bevy of individual awards. In addition to joining Mike D&rsquo;Auria &lsquo;06 as the only MIT player to earn All-America honors, Bartolotta was a First Team CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America, a finalist for the prestigious Jostens Trophy, and was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Northeast All-District Second Team.
